Teddy learned where the keys j, k, space bar, and enter are. He practiced typing these letters using the correct fingers.

We reviewed the proper home row keys where we place our fingers to begin typing. Libby started her lesson on F, R, U, and K. She worked her way through the lessons and was able to show mastery of those keystrokes.

We practiced computer skills.

We discussed the various parts of the computer. After identifying the various parts, Libby wanted to play "cornhole".

Teddy was absent today.
